Can the Universal Consumption be
Successfully Treated.
DIR. Borgeon, leading French doctor,
has a new treatment for consumption
He gives an enema of csrbonic acid
and sulphuretted hydrogen gases. the lat
ter gas carrying the former into every
part of the throat and lungs.
This treatment. too, is directed at ef-
fects-the cause remains undisiurbed.
What this cause is has been stated by
perhaps the highest pulmonary authority
in the world, i. e., the BromptOn hospital
for consumptives, IN London, Eng.

population of England

don, is authority for this statement.
The same or greater proportion of
deaths obtains in America.
DR.. Payne also says that one-half the
total number of deaths from all other
causes have seeds of this disease in the
system which only require some irritant
to developl
DR.. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent
German authority, saws that consumption
is caused by deficit nutrition of the lungs.
by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed
The medical world recognizes them. The
uric acid is the irritant in the blood that
causes the development of the seeds
| which DR.. Brehmer says lie dormant in
| the blood.
Every particle of blood which passes
through the lungs and heart. also goes
through the kidneys, and if they are in the
least deranged they cannot rid the blood
of its killing poison The thousand little
hair like sewer tubes of the kidneys very
| easily get blocked up and diseased; and
when they do, they corrupt instead of
purifying the blood. Kidney disease may
exist, and vet no pain occur in that organ,

every second. aud they soon give way.
The Brompton hospital investigation
showed that fifty two per cent of the
victims of consumption were afflicted
with deranged kidneys, which permitted
the uric acid poison to remain in the
blood and irritate the lungs. This uric
acid is always fighting every vital organ,
and if there be any inherent weakness in
the lungs it inevitably causes pneumonia,
cough and consumption.
The real cause of pulmonary troubles
being SO authOritatively shown to be
faulty even though unsupported action of
the kidneys, explains why, in order to
master the dreaded consumption, one
must rid the blood of the uric acid irritant
which infames and burns up the lung
substance. For this purpose there is
nothing equal to that great specific, War
ner's safe cure. This remedy has now the
favor of medical men all over the world
purely on its merits. We have no doubt
| that if the kidneys are kept in natural
action, consumption and great many
other diseases. caused by uric acid, will not
only be cured but will be prevented.

Then there is little cough in the morn

followed by loss of flesh and strength,
with dreadful night sweats; and when
the patient goes to school physician for
help. he is put on cod liver oil which his
stomach, weakened also by uric acid in
the blood, cannot digest. Because there
is no pain present in the kidneys, the
patient does not think they are affected,
but the kidney acid is doing its work
every minute, every hour, day and night.
